Google will track your movement, like it or not

So you have switched off Google location history on your kids phone to maintain their privacy. But, it seems like Google is still tracking you and your kids every movement. This is being done while you still use some of Google other services such as Search and Weather.

A report from Associated Press showed that Google Maps, Weather ,and Search is still tracking your location for purposes such as advertisement. On Google’s website it is stated that “You can turn off Google Location History at any time. With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.” However, an investigation by AP shows that this is untrue.
